The bed frame arrived scratched and dented during shipping due to lack of proper packing material. Luckily I was able to hide the damaged side rail facing in and the damaged legs against the wall. I used a rubber mallet which really helped get the parts together. All went well until attempting to attach the center support. The provided screws are too short. When after much struggle I managed to get them seated, any little jostle of the frame and the screws would pop right out. A nice gentleman at the hardware store helped me pick out metric screws, size m8-1.25x 20mm. Once I had long enough screws it all went together in an instant. The finished product, with 4 new screws for the center support, feels pretty sturdy. The manufacturer cut too many corners to bring us this inexpensive frame. worth every penny
Sturdy in the end but you get what you pay for
